It's a little over 90 miles between metlife and lincoln field. With a good enough antenna you should be able to pick up either teams home broadcast in each team's home turf. Y'all are neighbors in a way most other teams aren't.

I grew up just outside of Philly in Bucks and growing up we were sometimes able to get NYC stations with our rooftop antenna. It was usually weather-dependent and never crystal clear, but enough to watch the occasional ballgame

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

You can do it but you need like loving minutes of arc accuracy on a very directional antenna, especially since the atsc switchover

WPVI (Philly's ABC station) just unfucked their digital signal after 14ish years. It used to be virtually impossible to get their channel even in parts of the city itself let alone surrounding suburbs

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

that's not nature's way
on one hand, i've had this game written down as a loss for the eagles since the schedule came out and i can't think of any realistic argument for them going into jerryworld and winning on sunday night

on the other hand, i feel like getting it handed to them by the niners last week was important and much-needed and it's impossible to predict how they're going to respond

Since both teams can’t lose, I’m rooting for a tie that’s the Clownballiest game in the glorious history of NFC East Clownball.

Failing that, gently caress the Cowboys.

The Cowboys like the Niners will also have had 10 days rest. It's a rough stretch.

I'd rather see Dak win MVP than Purdy, who might be good and play the most valuable position but is like the 3rd most valuable player at best on his own team

CMC opens up the qb game so much. Wonder how much more Dak could be cooking right now with his elevated play if our run game had CMC and their o line's performance. (our O line is great but the run isn't clicking the way it should, probably down to Pollard)

The MVP will be decided by who cooks the Eagles secondary more. If Dak lights it up Sunday, he's the frontrunner.

blarzgh posted:

Oh god. Is that when you start posting semi nude photos of Dak Prescott getting out of the shower?

Kidding aside, everyone knows that Dallas, Philly and SF are all really loving good. As an Eagles fan, this year the only thing missing is our inability to put an entire game together where all the pieces and weapons we have work in unison and we just whip the ever loving dog poo poo out of inferior teams, and I'm not sure why that's the case and why it hasn't happened yet. Maybe the coaching changes and the pieces we lost.

We're as good and as capable of beating any team in the league, and have porven it by beating several good ones (which the Cowboys have NOT), but there's a palpable lack of confidence in the fan base that I can't say is entirely irrational or unjustified. I also had a split with Dallas and an L marked down on my schedule prediction so a loss here wouldn't shock me at all.

But this would be a great end to my weekend if we just finally went out there, put it all together and beat the christ out of America's Team on prime time TV. Whoever wins this game is gonna settle the NFC power ratings heading into the playoffs and none of those outcomes would surprise me. I think everyone knows it's SF, DAL and PHI in no particular order but the 49ers have beaten us both pretty handily so, if nothing else, they have bragging rights for the moment.

Hopefully, we push Dallas back to the clear #3 slot but I'm not gonna sit here and talk poo poo pretending that they're not dangerous or that Dak can't get it done either. He's playing great and the Birds were fortunate to win that first game.

Match ups like this are why we love the game and what December football is all about.

I can't wait.

The actual MVP of the Niners is Trent Williams.

Then CMC, then Purdy.

And they're all more valuable than Dak.
